The Metropolitan Cathedral, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is an Orthodox church. It was built between 1902 and 1906 on the site of a Greek church from 1797-1799, which had served as a bishop's cathedral until then. The architects were Virgil Nagy and József Kommer from Budapest. Since its inauguration, the building has been the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Sibiu and the Metropolis of Transylvania. The cathedral has the architectural features of a Byzantine basilica and is a smaller copy of the former St. Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople (now the Great Aysofya Mosque).
